Update March 12, 2007

Taylor has been doing well on the third floor. She likes her nurses and is sleeping through the night. She is also eating and drinking on a regular basis. The doctors are happy to see that she is gaining some weight.

Taylor continues to enjoy visitors, especially her friends. She was excited to see her friends Avery and Tara this past weekend. She also got a special out-of-town visit from her Uncle Brian and family.

Lately, Taylor has been having problems getting deep/full breaths with her pacer, so she is back on the ventilator until the doctors can determine the problem. The pacer and Taylor's diaphragm appear to be functioning properly, so the doctors are having to go through a trial and error process to figure out the problem. For now Taylor is staying in bed. This means that she's not able to ride her bike until doctors give her clearance.

Taylor continues to see the tutor. She's enjoying school and has been learning a lot of new words!

To call Taylor, call the Third Floor Nurse's Station at (916) 453-2156 and asked to be transferred to Taylor Parker's Room.

Thanks for your continued love and support!

Hi Taylor and Tammy,... Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoy the web site and Bobbi Jo and Wyatt and always asking about how you are doing. It is a great way for them to follow your progress. They have asked several times to come see you but I am not sure you would remember them too much. You only played with them at the arena. I will try and send you a picture. We will talk to you all soon. Take care.......Valerie

Hi Taylor,
I just wanted to say hi again. Sorry that you are stuck in bed for awhile but hopefully the doctors will fix whatever is not quite right and you will be able to be back on your bike again soon. Guess what, your picture is on the bulletin board in the hallway of the building where I work!...I don't know who put it there, but I guess a lot of folks at UC Davis are rooting for you too!
Take care,
Barbara from UCD
